Head to Bray on Saturday, July 27th & Sunday, July 28th, and catch some of the best display teams and vintage aircraft in the world, as they showcase their incredible aerobatic skills at the Bray Air Display 2019.

This is a fantastic free weekend for the whole family to enjoy with 2-days of action and entertainment, in the air and on the ground.

The Bray Air Display is so much more than an air show! Why not enjoy the thrills and spills of the Seafront Funfair, dine alfresco at the Food Village, treat yourself and the family to a meal at one of the many restaurants in #Bray or simply bring your own picnic as you watch the show from the beach.

Enniskerry is a gorgeous village in north Wicklow, full of charm and personality! With a huge variety of things to see and do, and wonderful places to stay, Enniskerry is know as the "Gateway to the Garden of Ireland", just 30 minutes from Dublin. Full details here - bit.ly/Enniskerry

Here are a few highlights and tips for your next visit to Enniskerry -

It's all happening on the village square where you'll find Schoolhouse for Art, a charming gallery with regular art classes and workshops for all ages and abilities. Just around the corner follow your nose to Poppies Enniskerry - it's hard to resist the aroma of that delicious wholesome country cooking! And for that all important retail therapy, stop by Smock Boutique for a lovely gift for a loved one or even yourself 🙂

Just outside the village, a visit to world-famous Powerscourt Estate, including the Historic Palladian House, Waterfall & Gardens (3rd Best in the World as voted by National Geographic), is a must. Cool Planet Experience is also onsite where you can track your carbon footprint through fun, interactive games and workshops.

If you're hoping for 18 holes you're spoiled for choice with three Championship courses all within a mile of the village; two at Powerscourt Golf Club and another at Dun Laoghaire Golf Club.

And there are accommodation options to suit everyone from five-star spa break at the Powerscourt Hotel, Autograph Collection, the charming Victorian Ferndale House on the village square, and the popular Summerhill House Hotel, Wicklow, also a lovely spot for Afternoon Tea. On the waterfall road, Coolakay House B&B offers farmstay accommodation where guests can also visit the Coolakay Agricultural Heritage Centre onsite.

A little drive up into the mountains will bring you to one of Ireland's most famous, and our "highest" pub - Johnnie Foxs Pub (Official FB Page). Enjoy fabulous food, a pint of the black stuff and live music every night, including the spectacular live music and dance "Hooley Show"!

Enjoy your visit to Enniskerry this summer! ... See MoreSee Less
